GARDENING GUIDE: How to grow Bananas : The RED Abyssinian Banana - Ensete maurelii Banana Care Tips
Tips, Tricks
How to grow Bananas : The Abyssinian Banana - Ensete maurelii Red Banana Care Tips. Winter hardy to USDA Zones 10-11. On Vancouver Island Zone 8b plants may be grown outdoors during the growing season and must be brought indoors for overwintering or they will not survive. Plants are best grown in organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Plants need consistently moist soils that do not dry out. Fertilize plants regularly during growing season, I do twice a month. Plant bananas in areas protected from strong winds which can badly damage the leaves. For containers, use a well-drained potting soil mix. Keep container soils consistently moist but not wet. Plants must be overwintered indoors, either in a sunroom/greenhouse or by forcing plants into dormancy. Either Bring the plant indoors in fall before first frost and place container in a large sunny room for overwintering as a houseplant, with reduced water and fertilization or If the plant is too large to bring inside as a houseplant, cut foliage back to 6-8' in fall after first frost, and store container in a cool, dark, frost-free corner of the basement until spring, with periodic addition of a touch of moisture as needed in winter to prevent the soils from totally drying out.

What kind of light does it get in the garage? This is my first year with mine and it is still small (about 2 or 3 feet) and I just brought it inside for the Winter. My concern is that is won't get enough sun through the Winter. I have it in front of a West/SW window but it will only get a few hours sun in the late afternoon. Is there anything I can do over the Winter to help ensure it will stay nice and healthy until it goes back outside in the Spring? Thanks for any information you can give to me!!

Hi Brad,
Really great video sir. I live in northers San Diego county by the beach where the winters for a couple of weeks get pretty cold. Is it OK outside or should I bring it into the garage? Also, does the darkness of the garage hurt the plant?
Thank you in advance,

That's a beautiful red banana plant I just got one here about 2 weeks ago got in the basement that way I can plant in the spring
-
has your plant bloomed a flower yet? or ever?
mine died after it bloomed. does it grow back?
if I don't take into the house/garage, how do I trim it down for winter? do I just cut it straight across the trunk for winter? -
Can this plant be grown in a large pot or do they need at some point to be moved to soil?

Hi egon, Glad you enjoyed the video, I do water mine when it's in the garage. Not a lot, just enough to keep it from going completely dry. Brad
